Smaller relative to body size, capable of sustained hovering, rapid wingbeats, and tightly controlled flight

Short and wide, capable of fast and tightly controlled flight, and easy maneuverability through obstacles like trees

Long and broad, capable of soaring without reliable wind currents

Long and narrow, adapted for soaring without flapping for long periods of time over long distances over water to conserve energy

Built like a bird of prey; optimized for speed, agility, and raw strength for lifting their heavy skeleton into the air

The whip tail is extremely long and thin, and capable of snapping in the air with a loud crack! The wing membrane only extends for a quarter of it, and the hip bone is shallower.

The standard Crysalla tail is long and thick, and slightly stiff, to offset the weight of the body. The wing membrane extends to about half of it, and it has a prominent dip of the hip bone.

The chameleon tail is prehensile and capable of carrying objects or supporting the Crysalla’s weight when hanging from branches. It’s extremely strong! The wing membrane only extends for a third of it.
